Is there a magic number of sessions to feel great?
Hey there,
I hope you're enjoying the bliss that comes with these summer days, whether it be a hammock nap, the promise of adventure, sun-kissed skin or the bounty from the garden. My family has been doing a lot of swimming, splash pads, camping, a family reunion, gardening, as well as a lot of rest.
With summer comes deviations in our schedule to allow for the important things like vacations, family, outdoor activities better done this time of year, and more. If it's been a minute since I’ve seen you for a session at Studio 400, I can't wait to hear about what you've been up to!
Pretty soon, if not already, you might be craving a reset through movement. Think back to how you feel after a Pilates Movement Therapy session or class. It's the realignment through simple movements, ah-hah moments, the awareness of your own body and most importantly, the empowerment you felt afterwards to take your healing into your own hands - this is why you come to me.
Some hints from your body that you might need to make your studio visits a bit more regular -
You’re starting to feel some of those old patterns and sneaky pain creep in.
You’re feeling the same areas of your body act up during your activity of choice like walking, tennis, running, playing with kids or grandkids, while traveling, or just throughout daily life.
You know you need to stay on top of movement in order to keep the gains you worked so hard for, and you could use a little direction, motivation and support.
So no, there is no magic number of sessions to make you feel great. But the above are are all signs you need a little more consistency in your life of taking care of your body to keep it at its best. I can help you pinpoint what exactly you can be doing!
My recommendations if you’ve been a little less consistent lately:
Make sure you’re a part of The Santosha Movement Society. This is the best place to connect with me and get my highest level of support, as well as receive the best pricing on 1:1 sessions and online classes.
Purchase a 6 pack of sessions and schedule these out as soon as you can. Grab your calendar, book your sessions, and feel at ease knowing you have all of your movement covered!
Join my online classes (Monday 9am Therapeutic Mat Pilates or Tuesday 8am Yoga) or the next in person small group training. Schedule here.
I would schedule these out in advance so you can get the days/times you want. September tends to be a time when everyone is ready to recommit, and I want to be sure you're on the books. I can’t wait to see you again soon and get you back to feeling good!
Here’s what some of you have said about being supported by me through this work:
“What I've learned from Mandee's 1:1 movement therapy sessions and her Therapeutic Mat Pilates classes are life changing. Today while I was cleaning the house, my lower back begin to hurt so much that I had to sit down. But instead of just sitting, I went to do some of the exercises she's taught me to reset my pelvis and lower back. After 10-15 minutes of doing those exercises I felt like I could finish the cleaning project. She has empowered me to be more in tune with my body and how to correct my posture and movements so I don't have to be in so much pain. She is the best Pilates instructor that I have ever encountered. You will not be disappointed with her instruction.”
“I've worked with Mandee for nearly a decade and cannot say enough good things about her and her teaching style. She wants you to have the best experience possible, gives great cues throughout the workout so your body is doing it properly and will tailor Pilates/Yoga moves to accommodate any injuries or body issues you have. She is also great at teaching you stretches and things to do to enable your body to heal.”
See you soon :)
Yours in Health,
Mandee Louie
